We are traveling by car... 3 weeks in July. Are private home stays available through local tourist information offices, like in other counries. What is the average price for a double with breakfast? Ive always found this a very enjoyable way to go, and a real cost saver. The spontaneity and adventuresome nature of having a car and winging it has always been appealing, and has almost never been a problem elsewhere. Please advise. thanks.... steve

steve, I think you have forgotten to mention where?

Steve probably highlighted a country in the subject search box. A major design flaw of the site and not your fault, <BR>Steve. The countries are highlighted only when you're searching, not when you're posting. All posts go to one general Europe board. They are not separated into countries. I sure wish Fodor's would change this so newbies

Now that the indexing is caught up again, it appears that Steve may have meant Sweden. He previously posted a message almost identical to this with Sweden in the the text of the question.<BR><BR>Regrettably, I have no actual experience to help with this question.<BR><BR>Best wishes,<BR><BR>Rex<BR>

rex why did you bother posting if you couldnt contribute anything besides telling the world you dont know an answer?

Hmmm - - my answer does appear rather badly out of context.<BR><BR>It has to do with this thread:<BR><BR>http://www.fodors.com/forums/pgMessages.jsp?fid=2&tid=1353664<BR><BR>also called "Private homes"<BR><BR>but that post mostly came across as a "help my find my lost thread" question.<BR><BR>When the indexing wasn't up to date, it seemed impossible to find his earlier question. But now I have topped both this thread - - and that one - - so maybe he will get some information.<BR><BR>Thanks for pointing out the need for clarification.<BR>
